Master Tongtian

Chapter 251 You can have personal relationships, but you must pay attention to the impact (34)

Crescent Town.

Because construction costs have plummeted, buildings are very tall and spacious.

The Lord's Castle is like this.

The front yard is the town hall, and the back yard is the lord's private residence.

There is not much going on in a small town, so the area of ​​the town office building is not large, but it is only 10 rams, and it is divided into three floors.

As for the private house in the backyard, because it is the lord's personal private house and it was built with the lord's money, naturally the bigger the better, covering an area of ​​more than 30 rams.

The main building occupies about 10 rams. In addition, there are gardens, artificial lakes, spell laboratories, alchemy laboratories, etc., with various functions available.

The temple is also huge.

The main hall and backyard cover an area of ​​15 rams. The height of the main hall is 15 meters, and an additional 20-meter-high bell tower is added.

The bell tower is the tallest building in the town to show the highest authority of the Golden God in the mortal world.

After Rosen came back, he got intimate with Thrandis and Gendeloni for a while, and then immediately came to the temple.

As the representative agency of the Golden God in the mortal world, every lord must show his respect.

In the past hundred years, after the Golden God issued the oracle of the separation of gods and humans, the temple gradually became otherworldly.

But more than a hundred years before the oracle was issued, the temple was the most powerful force in the Golden Land.

Not to mention the terrifying Jingshi Temple, if the chief priest of the area is dissatisfied with any lord, and an order of excommunication is issued, the lord will have to kneel down and beg for mercy on the spot.

Of course, this kind of thing has rarely happened in the past century, but since the Golden God only retreated rather than declined, there is always a possibility of it happening.

For this reason, Rosen had to entertain the priests of the temple.

Take a carriage from the Lord's Castle and make a half circle along the town square. Less than 200 meters away, you will find the temple.

The carriage stopped at the main entrance of the temple.

As soon as he got out of the car, the two temple guards at the door saluted him together and called him "Master Rosen, who is bathed in divine grace."

Rosen nodded in return, walked a few steps, and a young aide ran up to receive him.

He casually took off his hat and windbreaker and handed them to him to keep, and explained his purpose of coming: "I'm here to visit Priest Pulampan."

The officiant Pu Lanpan is the officiant of Crescent Town whom Rosen met when he was promoted to Divine Grace Mage.

At that time, he was the one who rushed back to Silver Moon Castle overnight to report the latest situation in Crescent Town to Archpriest Faao.

The chief priest made a great contribution, and when Crescent Town was built, it was his responsibility to manage the new temple.

In short, this is the personnel arrangement within the temple. Rosen has no intention of interfering, as long as the other party cooperates with the work.

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and gold sleeves came out. When he saw Rosen, he smiled gently, his face full of sincere admiration.

"Ah ~ Mayor Rosen, the Temple of God you built is really magnificent, far beyond my imagination."

This temple is even more spacious than the South Temple of Silver Moon Castle.

Rosen smiled slightly: "I feel very honored to be praised by Priest Pulanpan."

Pulan Pan then stretched out his hand to make an invitation: "Mayor, it's not convenient to talk in the front hall. Let's go to the back hall to chat."

"my pleasure."

The two of them went to the back hall side by side.

The apse is naturally very spacious, but the main decoration is according to the standards of the temple. The most eye-catching one is the sculpture of the Golden God with an inscribed triangle.

But because the place is spacious, several semi-open small chat rooms have been set up for conversation.

These rooms are flanked by large windows inlaid with frosted glass and wooden screens on one side, ensuring a certain degree of privacy and providing very bright light.

The two sat down in one of the chat rooms, and the acolytes then brought tea and snacks.

Pulanpan said to an assistant priest again: "Go and bring the list of temple personnel to the mayor."

From now on, Rosen will be the lord of Crescent Town. For this kind of town-level temple, a small part of its income depends on donations from believers, but most of the income depends on the lord's profit sharing.

Since the lord is a big financier, he is naturally qualified to know who the temple supports, and he also has partial review authority over the temple personnel.

After the gods retreated, the temples actually gradually became secular.

Soon, the assistant priest brought a detailed list.

Rosen took it and looked carefully.

There are a total of 66 people in the temple, including one chief priest, three formal priests, 12 assistant priests, 30 daily servants, a team of 10 temple guards, and a team of 10 exorcist warriors.

Among the official priests, the healing priest is Sister Wei Na. The exorcist warrior captain turned out to be Feilin.

Thinking of the shy, gentle and plump sister Wei Na, Rosen couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, and a small fire ignited in his heart.

But Felin's existence surprised him.

"Priest, shouldn't Felin be the exorcist captain of the Silver Moon Castle Grand Temple? Why are you here?"

This is a downgrade.

Pulanpan sighed: "Feilin was indeed the captain, but he was very clear about big things, but he always made mistakes in small details."

Rosen raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Is the girl pregnant outside?"

He knew a lot about the temperament of this former comrade-in-arms.

‘Ahem~~’

Priest Pulan Pan couldn't help but clench his fists and cough lightly, his face full of embarrassment.

"Everyone says that the mayor speaks straightforwardly and never hides anything. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

Then, he nodded and confirmed Rosen's guess.

"While on a mission, he slept with the unmarried daughter of a down-and-out knight. After he became pregnant, the old knight went to the temple angrily."

"Nian Feilin, the chief priest of Fa'ao, fought desperately against evil spirits many times and made countless contributions to God, so he lowered his face and settled the matter."

"But any mistakes have to be paid for, so the position of captain is gone."

"The chief priest means that this prodigal should come to you and be under your control."

Rosen spread his hands: "After all, he is a comrade in life and death who has faced the evil god together. I will take care of him."

Then, he handed the list back to Pulampan: "Priest, how much do you estimate the daily operating expenses of the temple are?"

Pulampan had already prepared for this, and he immediately started calculating for Rosen.

"The temple's funds are divided into three parts. The monthly money of the priests and warriors has been spent on daily operations."

"For an ordinary priest, 200 crowns a month is enough."

"The samurai is divided into two parts."

"Exorcist warriors have to go out on missions and often face life-threatening dangers, so their monthly income is very high."

"Generally, the monthly payment for a low-level exorcist warrior is 15 crowns, the middle-level one is 30 crowns, and the high-level one must pay 70 crowns."

"Now, Felin is already a high-level warrior. Among the other 10 people, there are 3 mid-level warriors and 7 low-level warriors, which add up to 265 crowns."

"In addition, there are 10 temple guards. Their monthly salary is 70% of the exorcist warrior, which is 186 crowns."

"There is still a daily expenditure left, which adds up to about 500 kronor. I will also give a list of specific expenditures later."

"So, the total monthly expenses are 1,151 kroner."

"Normally, the lord pays 70%, and the remaining 30% is raised by the temple itself."

Rosen listened carefully. Although he didn't care much about the money now, there was no need to spend more money.

After all, even if the burden is 70%, the expenditure will be tens of thousands of crowns a year. If it were transferred to Fanggu Town in Morrow, it would be a huge expenditure.

The best way is to understand it carefully and implement it in accordance with the rules. You will neither be deceived and taken advantage of, nor be scolded for being harsh and stingy.

After listening, he said: "That's right. According to the rules, should I pay once a month or once a year?"

Pulan Pan said: "Anyone is fine. But considering that the town mayor is currently building the town and the funds are tight, my suggestion is to pay it once a month to reduce the financial pressure on the town."

Rosen nodded: "Okay. Then I will hand over this part of the expenditure to Deputy Mayor Harrick later, and he will arrange for the financial officer to allocate it."

"Then I'll trouble the mayor."

Let’s get down to business.

Rosen relaxed on the chair and said with a smile: "Priest Vina helped me a lot. The talisman she gave me has saved my life many times."

"I have a huge debt of gratitude to her, and now that she's here, I hope to visit."

Prampan was not surprised by this.

In fact, the chief priest of Fa'ao specifically mentioned the subtle relationship between this and emphasized that it was part of Rosen's divine grace.

Since it was divine grace, he had nothing to say.

But the temple has its own rules for operation. There is no one else here, so Pulan Pan reminds him clearly.

"Mayor, no matter what, I hope that your personal relationship with Priest Vina will be kept as secret as possible. After all, although the lost lambs don't have much ability, they are extremely jealous."

Rosen nodded: "Priest, I will keep your words in mind and will never let my personal friendship with Vina affect the normal work of the temple."

Priest Pulan Pan was relieved, because judging from the series of things Rosen had done in the past, he was very reliable. Since he had such a guarantee, he would never cause trouble.

"We just arrived yesterday. Priest Vina is currently sorting out her personal belongings in the single dormitory in the backyard. The dormitory room number is 6. Just go to her directly."

"Thank you, officiant."

The structural diagram of the temple was designed by Rosen himself, so Rosen naturally knew where the dormitory was.

In order not to cause bad effects, he stood up, cast a low-level invisibility spell on himself, and then walked against the wall toward the backyard.

Seeing him leaving quietly, Priest Pulan Pan could not help but sigh.

Although this was God's favor, he still felt that this method of favor was too partial.

Of course, since God has decided so, he has nothing to say and can only acquiesce.
